About XM-5

XM-5 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Oct 14, 2010 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 115°W, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
